Anja Kirschner & David Panos, The Last Days of Jack Sheppard

Dates: 16th September, 19 September 2009 | Locations: Picture This, Bristol, The Whitechapel gallery, London

Two chances to view the work of this year’s Jarman Award nominees present themselves this week. Screenings and performance events showcasing the shortlisted artists’ output are taking place at Bristol’s Picture This on Wednesday 16th September at 7pm  and at London’s Whitechapel gallery on Saturday 19th September from 11am to 5pm. Presented by Film London and Channel 4 in association with the Whitechapel Gallery, the Jarman Award aims to reward innovation and excellence, recognising film-makers whose work shares something of the experimental spirit of the late Derek Jarman. The nominees for this year’s award are Simon Martin, Lindsay Seers,  Stephen Sutcliffe and Anja Kirschner & David Panos (whose very Jarmanesque The Last Days of Jack Sheppard is depicted above). The overall winner will receive £10,000 and a comission to produce four artworks to be shown on Channel 4. The results will be announced at the Whitechapel Gallery on 22 September 2009.
